Which of my projects are using Git?
I forget which projects are on git and which are on svn. Here’s a one liner to find the git ones. find * -maxdepth 2 | grep "/.git$" | sed -e "s/\/.git//" Then pipe that to xargs and you can do whatever you like with the knowledge. Ahh, unix ftw.

Packaging a rails/ruby app
Want to send a copy of your Rails app to someone? Our old friend Rake comes to the rescue.
Stick this in your Rails app’s Rakefile:
require 'rake/packagetask'
require 'rake/clean'
NAME = File.basename(File.expand_path(File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__)))) unless defined? NAME
VERS = ENV['VERSION'] || begin
`svn info` =~ /Revision: (\d+)/
$1
end unless defined?...

Checked out revision 556526.
Holy mother of SVN revision numbers.
The title is came from running the following command:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/heraldry/idp/pip/trunk/ eastmedia-openid-server
svn.apache.org has a LOT of commits to its name! :)

Has Tumblr broken syntax highlighting?
# any old sausage of code...
def sausages
%w[1 2 3].each {|n| puts "#{n} sausages"}
end
Let’s see if this is highlighted. Rumour has it Tumblr is removing element attributes on posting, which is breaking syntax highlighting…
Nope, is working fine.
If you are having problems, remember to turn off HTML Filtering under settings.

I mocked something
I used mocha for the first time:
Post.expects(:find).with(60).returns(post)
assert_equal(post, 60.to_post, "to_activerecord not working")
Like the 60.to_post syntax? Use the to_activerecord gem.
